B&W M1 as center speaker with B&W CM8

Hi, I currently have a pair of B&W CM8s 2.1 configuration. I'm wondering if it's a good idea to pair it with a B&W M1 as a center speaker (space is a premium) or will there will unbalance issues? The current phantom center speaker is sometimes difficult to hear dialogue. Thoughts?

I haven't heard the M1 but they are considerably smaller and use much smaller drivers than your CM8s. Personally, I prefer larger drivers for vocals (including center channel speakers) but if space is a major issue, it might be worth trying.

I would say that it would likely be better than using a small speaker from a different manufacturer.
